Actually, I've just started working on KDE again with 3.5.1, but I never 
got as far as kwrite.  This is probably from the KDE-Cygwin project, and 
I have no idea how and if their KDE packages (which are mostly old) work 
with our Qt3.

Most packages nowadays require a threaded Qt, including KDE, so this 
isn't very practical.
